Abstract: A concealment substrate manufacturing process begins by printing or painting a graphic design as camouflage on substrates like mesh-textured uniforms, military equipment, Mylar thermal blanket sheets, adhesive tapes, etc. The graphic design is uniquely generated from pseudo-random noise in four overlaying color pigments that each begin as a raster of randomly generated noise in a standardized tile size. E.g., gray, green, tan, and brown colors natural for concealment applications are each masked by two-tone image contrast rasters. The four results are mixed together in groups with a monochrome mixing mask to produce a whole tile. Such concealment camouflage tile conjoins seamlessly on-edge within other arrays of identical tiles. One variation adds a distorted-grid mesh-texture overly texture to the concealment camouflage, and even a faint “watermark” related to a commercial trademark.

Abstract: A pseudo-random steganographic camouflage includes a graphic design printed or painted as camouflage on an outer side of a substrate like Mylar thermal blanket sheets, uniforms, and adhesive tapes. The graphic design is uniquely generated from pseudo-random noise in four overlaying colors that each begin as a raster of randomly generated noise CDMA encoded with a PRN and a message in a standardized tile size. E.g., gray, green, tan, and brown colors natural for concealment applications are each masked by two-tone image contrast rasters. The four results are mixed in groups together with a monochrome mixing mask to produce a whole tile of concealment camouflage that will conjoin seamlessly within arrays of such tiles. A further refinement visually adds a distorted-grid mesh-texture to the pseudo-random steganographic camouflage, and even faint “watermarks” of commercial trademarks.

Abstract: A modified deposit-and-etch Bosch process of cyclic anisotropic etching and film deposition by gas switching. The modification of which includes depositing nucleated silicon layers as liquefied droplets of silicon instead of by passivation, and using a bias discharge to decelerate an otherwise ballistic deposition instead into a nuclei-generation cloud at the deposition site. Such is then useful in the refurbishment of gas distribution plates made of silicon.

Abstract: An aluminum gas distribution plate refurbishment system combines a multi-beam inductively coupled plasma (AP-ICP) torch and vacuum discharge chuck. Plasma beams are employed to clean and restore to service the many gas flow passages in aluminum type gas distribution plates. Several parallel supersonic plasma beams of uniform density are produced from a single upper and lower AP-ICP plasma reactor arranged in totem pole that are driven by two pairs of opposing spiral planar RF induction RF antennas. These plasma beams are focused inside the gas flow passages to etch, heat, and deposit nanoparticles within. The vacuum discharge chuck includes a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) reactor to generate a positive species discharge immediately beneath the gas distribution plates. This overcomes and undoes a Debye Sheathing effect, a electron-fed negative space charge blocking occurring above, and unknots any congested plasma beams in the gas flow passages.

Abstract: A photo-bio-stimulation device uses near infrared (NIR) laser illumination of the scalp to promote hair growth with a lightweight user wearable device. All the remaining components are mounted on the concave underside of an outer shell. Forty to as many as eighty VCSEL laser device chips are surface mount soldered underneath of a single large, thin-layer FR4 printed circuit. These discrete devices direct a diffused, near uniform flood of 678-nanometer monochromatic laser light deep into the hair roots and follicles across the scalps of its users. Petal shapes along a central spine are cut deep into the side edges of the thin-layer FR4 printed circuit to allow it to be conformed and fixed into a hemispherical dome and attached with dozens of plastic snaps inside the outer shell. This connects inside to a rechargeable battery and power controller. A protective clear covering matching the concave underside is attached along the brims.

Abstract: A process of expediting a group decision, the process including: instructing computing devices of group members to present options for voting by group members in a plurality of rounds, each round presenting options at a corresponding hierarchical level of a taxonomy, and each round after a first round excluding at least some options based on a group selection in an earlier round; receiving votes of at least some group members in at least some rounds and, in response: adjusting sequences with which options are presented to cause options voted upon favorably by at least some group members to appear earlier in the respective round for other group members; and determining whether a sufficient amount of votes for an option have been received to designate the respective round as complete; and informing a group member of a decision by the group.

Abstract: Switching regulator methods and systems are provided for supplying output current at a regulated voltage level to a load. Upon determining that the output current is not below a predetermined current threshold, the regulator is operated in a continuous mode. The input voltage is monitored. If the input voltage is not below a first input threshold level, the system remains in continuous mode. Otherwise, the system enters a burst mode in which the switch mode power supply is turned OFF, thereby reducing transistor gate charge losses.

Abstract: A municipal infrastructure maintenance system uses a ground vehicle to move an antenna array in back-and-forth sweeps over large areas or distances. The antenna array comprises dozens of compartmentalized radio dipole antennas arranged laterally, shoulder-to-shoulder across the width of each sweep. An antenna switch matrix is connected between the antenna array and a ground-penetrating-radar (GPR) set and provides electronic aperture switching and selection, and the ability to laterally register one sweep to the next. The antenna array is extended out in front of the ground vehicle on a pivotable boom, and the cantilevered weight is a primary concern. The antenna array is constructed with aluminum-on-aluminum honeycomb panels slotted and folded around dozens of resistive-card compartment separators. Printed circuit boards with matching baluns are also slotted to receive tabs on the resistive cards, and their dipole elements are resistive loaded to quench crosstalk and near field effects.

Abstract: A WiFi Wallet includes an app that installs on a smartphone or other mobile device having a wireless local area network connection manager and mobile telephone network access. Local preexisting wireless access points and routers are adjusted to transmit type (R)SSID service set identifiers in their beacons and to invite brand-named guest network logons. The WiFi wallet app is provisioned with a matching password for the (R)SSID that will gain it Internet access. Once on the Internet, the WiFi wallet app logs onto a network server to deposit an encrypted cardholder token. A location identifier for the particular local wireless access points and router naturally tags on. The network server generates an anonymous WiFi Wallet token and sends it to the user over mobile telephone network and the host location over secure Internet. At checkout, lock-open, or secure log-in, the user displays their token to the host location security barrier.

Abstract: A stray-wire sensor includes a vertical magnetic gradiometer (VMG) carried over the surface by ground vehicles or by low-flying aircraft. The VMG has a spot of sensitivity on the ground which stays nadir to the VMG itself. A Faraday shield surrounding the VMG screens out the near field electric dipole signals, and a ferrite rod core and winding inside act as an antenna sensitive to the near-field magnetic dipole signals which radiate from horizontal lying stray wires on the ground surface in the dirt of hidden by ground cover. The VMG depends on it being moved around over the ground so that magnetic signal gradients and reversals can be measured point-by-point. The nadir points which fall over a point along a long horizontal wire will express characteristic signatures in the signal gradients and phase reversals measureable in the antenna.
